My concerns

1.More breadth than depth? 

2.Too much genz lingo? Will need gloss for teachers and Cambridge ( available age 70) 

3.No character flaws among main characters? All inherently good 

4.Seems more YA lit than other texts on our list 

5. May be dated before end of syll cycle.. not as timeless as other texts?

What works

1.character arc for all 5

2. Relationships between mom and kids

Siblings, friends 

3. There is change. Friends fall out, make up, 

4. There is mention of real concerns 

5. Shifts in time significant. So we see how they grow. 

6. Impact of music 

7. Diff family dynamics. Expectations of parents on children and grades. Immigration issues working just to make money not for passion. Making ends meet preferential treatment for one kid.
